Science says the man flu might actually be a thing

Great news guys, science says the ‘man flu’ is real – but it also means we’re the less ‘valuable’ sex and therefore dispensable!

According to scientists at the University of London, some viruses cause men to get sicker than women.

It’s believed this is because the viruses have evolved to cause less harm to women, most likely as a way to increase their chance of being passed on from mother to child – to preserve the female population.

This finding supports a recent study that men have more temperature receptors in the brain, and so are more sensitive to coughs and colds.
